The strength of rock is generally described by a simple uniaxial compression test and although failure in this type of test may well be tensile it does not follow that the tensile strength of rock is closely correlated with its uniaxial compressive strength. A number of techniques [1-3] have been used to determine the tensile strength of coal.

The strength of a rock is what prevents failure of the rock under external force, and it is one of the most important characteristics of the mechanical properties of a rock. The strength of a rock is usually expressed by peak stress and residual strength; the peak stress refers to the maximum load on the rock specimen during uniaxial or ...

The average compressive strength and standard deviation were found to be 15,707 psi and 398 psi, respectively. Analysis of the data proves that the compressive strength of marble is not influenced by steel end platen size or thickness. Similarly, low standard deviation and lack of trend occurred for the other three rock types.

When used in its more precise sense, the term strength is usually qualified. Thus, the ultimate strength is the greatest stress difference that a test sample can support under given conditions of effective pressure, temperature, and strain rate (Handin, 1966; cf. Rock Deformation, Experimental; Rheology of Rocks).

The tensile strength of rock is defined as the pulling force, required to rupture a rock sample, divided by the sample's cross-sectional area. The tensile strength of rock is very small and is of the order of 0.1 times the compressive strength. Thus, a rock material is more likely to fail in tension than in compression.
